God Bless her. She made a craigslist score for me while I am over seas. She bought the guy out for 50 cents a pound. 510 lbs of wheel weights all ready sorted. I just have to sort it by COWW and SOWW. She even started going to garage sales and estate sales for me. She hasnt scored any tin alloys but i think this makes up for it.

I havent scored wheel weights in almost 2 years because of laws, rules, and regs. An old mechanic is retireing and cleaning out his shop.

Now i just need a little more and i will have a comftable stash to last a few years.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190917/1600c0d7c762d7ee413df5d3864cf771.jpg

You're a lucky guy in more ways than one, at a glance that looks like it's the good stuff. I'm happy for you all round. :)

My wife is always looking at the Market place posts on FB. I taught her to look at the pics for reloading books, tools, fishing & plumbing stuff. She brought me home an old toolbox full of bank sinkers from a tag sale once, $5.

My wife is from new New Jersey. I have had to unbrain wash her. Lol her sisters and aunts are liberal snow flakes. They hate me now because of what i did to her. Its fine though, her dad is a retired Master Cheif. Him and I are like to peas in a pod.

Got my wife scouring the Goodwill stores looking for pewter. When she finds some, I'll be as happy as you are with your score.

Lucky man! And a great wife you have there.

Although the woman Im with isnt my wife yet...she got a good score for me a few months back. One of her coworkers was getting rid of his reloading supplies and she locked in a deal for me at $140. When I went to pick everything up there was a thumlers model B, lee classic turret, redding die sets, uniflow+stand, lyman trimmer, brass, bullets, primers, powder and a few other items.

I'm just happy my wife just smiles when I bring home more pewter or lead when I haven't even made a small dent in the stash I already have.

That'll be the satisfying kind of sweat that comes out of a good job/deal well done.

And, yes, 500# plus of lead would be hard on my back.

Lol that's true. I think also he said that he was tired of people say that they were coming. So I just went to the bank took the money out and immdently went. Than we made a deal, anything he gets for now on. I get first dibs! [emoji16]

You guys are inflating her ego lol. Yes Misty Conner is the Mrs. Rcmaveric. RC are my initials for Ryan Conner and Maveric is a screan name i have been using since i was a kid. Would have been cooler if she chose Mcmaveric lol.

If you guys keep talking to her she will never leave lol. She is the social butterfly. I am the cranky middle aged introverted cat guy who loves guns and ammo.

Lol there it is changed. Anyways, I am a social butterfly. It makes me feel good that I got all these wheel weights for you. In the process of moving it , yes I thought about forgetting about it.

That is a good wife there! My wife took a stained glass class a few years ago. She came home with about 10# of came scrap, little bits that are trimmed off during the process. While not much, I did send her back to score what ever the instructor was willing to part with for 50c/#. It is very clean nearly dead soft lead.
